I think I would pick up that light gray blue in the carpet instead of that "in your face" blue.

I don't understand this room at all.  Looks like they covered the wood backing with the blue and the white divider is jarring.  I am no professional decorator or student of design, just know what is pleasing to me.

It depends on the color combination for me.  It does add a pop of color to the room.

You're right.  If the built in were white then the blue would look better.  That's what I meant by color combinations.

Oh, I see the built-in theme continues... These are relatively awful... Too much going on... You've got the white built-ins to the left with a brown wooden surface then you've got the brown wooden built-ins with the too blue backs... Make up your mind... Either way, the blue backs don't have much appeal... It's too bright a shade and there's too much of it... They might well have been trying to tie it in with the chair cushions and that eye-popping seating piece in the sitting area, but it doesn't work, though perhaps a slightly less brilliant shade would have... I do like the window shades... Maybe they should have opted for that shade of blue...

If they just had to have blue, a lighter, softer blue would have worked better with the gold/tan area rug, while not detracting from the woodwork and the otherwise mostly white adjoining room. The couch looks like it has some lighter blue, too, they could have matched-up.  Frankly, I'd find this blue unattractive, almost anywhere. And, I generally love blue.

The blue is a distraction. don't care for it at all .....and the whole room in general is odd---the white cabinets on this side, and then and wooden cabinets and table and chairs on the other side is just not coordinated very well..... it's like two different rooms with different design themes....

Boy that doesn't even match with anything in the room.

I don’t like the blue behind the built-ins at all. My guess is they’re trying to tie it in with the blue furniture in the adjoining room. Didn’t work IMO.

Just NO!

 Could have picked a color from the rug.
